LIVING

Green light

In midsummer, conservatories

can become too hot, so cover the

ceiling with made-to-measure

blinds (try Hillary’s or Duette).

Woven blinds work well, as they

help regulate temperature while

still diffusing light. If you use

your room year round, either

plumb it in to your central heating

or consider a freestanding heater

(such as Dyson’s high-tech fan).

Add curtains to provide shade

when the sun becomes too

bright and to help retain

warmth at night; a botanical

print will blur the boundary

between inside and out.
